Today was
mostly spent pottering in the garden.
I
have potted all of the tomato seedlings and now have about four dozen pots
containing one or two seedlings each. Actually
some pots have up to five tiny seedlings in. The sturdy plants are on the bedroom
windowsill, with the window ajar, to encourage them to be hardy. The tiny ones are on the living room bay-window-sill
getting some tlc.
Anyone
within striking distance who wants a little tomato plant is welcome to pop
around for a pot or three.
Fester
has been doing his best to keep me occupied and fulfil a mild desire I
mentioned to green up the drive. He's
been buying pots of saxifrage, thyme and alpines and dropping heavy hints about
me planting them. Not easy as our drive
is hard-packed clay and brick gravel. But
I got my kneeler, claw trowel and bulb trowel out this afternoon and planted
another four pots of stuff.
I feel a
lot better after a bath and look forward to a chicken salad and an evening of
unintellectual telly.
I may even
treat myself to a glass of red.

snails, four frogs in pond (maybe more) cool damp air spitting with rain.
